It was already nightfall when Isaac had come near the summit of the island's dormant volcano. Isaac stared at the vast green valley below him. As beautiful as the sight was, it only made Isaac feel very depressed and very lonely. He was just glad the location was on a small hiking trail so he knew he wouldn't be bothered or disturbed. He didn't think anybody would care to come after him anyway.

"What's the point of sharing love with people anyway?" Isaac asked himself as he looked up to see what was a clear starry night, "The second something goes wrong, nobody is going to be by your side. They just leave you at the mercy of people who spend the rest of their lives tearing you apart." Isaac looked at the valley as he felt his eyes water. As angry as he was, he couldn't deny one thing about himself.

He was heartbroken.

"WHY EVEN BOTHER!?" Isaac shouted angrily as his voice echoed into the vast valley as he began to break down into tears and slumped to his knees.

"I just lost everything I cared about," Isaac wept, "All because of a misunderstanding that nobody will ever believe wasn't my fault! What did I do to deserve being treated this way?!" Isaac then wept loudly as his cries of anguish echoed into the night.

The next morning, Twilight had just buried herself under a large stack of pillows and had put on some rather depressing music to listen to. This was a habit of Twilight whenever she felt like a failure or was extremely depressed. In addition, Twilight had been under her little "fortress" since she had returned to the hotel yesterday in tears. She was feeling very depressed, not to mention heartbroken. Then her little fortress collapsed, showing that Twilight's tears were still flowing as she whimpered and rested her head against a tissue box. Her glasses had fallen off during her crying as she clutched her High Priestess card. She didn't even remember if she had fallen asleep at all last night, but her eyes felt all red and puffy. Her hair was rather frazzled from the heat despite being inside. Twilight just sighed to herself as she slowly sniffled and headed into the bathroom to splash some cold water on her face. She looked at her frazzled hair, noticing the hibiscus flower was still intact before pulling it out and tossing it into a wastebasket.

"So much for my dream honeymoon!" Twilight muttered before growling angrily, "Why is it every time I try to do organized fun it never works out! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER! NEVER!" Of course, Twilight didn't get an answer since she was practically yelling at her reflection. She saw her reflection just giving her a bitter look.

"What?" Twilight demanded sternly as her reflection shook her head at her.

"You are so clueless," her reflection told her.

"Excuse me?" Twilight yelled, "He started it. Kissing another girl when he claims he's married to me!" Her reflection just glared.

"Don't give me that look!" said Twilight, "He blew it! End of story!" Her reflection just shook her head at her, Twilight was furious.

"Don't shake your head at me, young lady!" Twilight yelled like a mother would scold a child, "I don't like you anymore!" Twilight then punched the mirror with her fist.

"Owwwwwww..." Twilight groaned as she looked at her now throbbing hand and felt tears in her eyes. Once she had managed to get the throbbing in her hand to stop, she left the bathroom and considered returning to her little fortress, but she didn't feel like trying to rebuild it again. Twilight just looked around the living room. It felt much more spacious now since she was all alone now. Twilight felt very lonely but then snorted.

"Just wait until I tell Shining Armor about this," Twilight said bitterly to herself, "He'll deal with Isaac." But once the words left her mouth, she felt a large pain in her heart.

Both her brother and her husband were considered rivals with each other based on the signature monsters of their deck, and based on the duels they had in the past, they were always explosive, but that was when the two were having fun or being competitive. Now Twilight was trying to picture how brutal that fight would be if she had both of the boys literally trying to kill each other. Thinking about revenge wasn't going to make her feel better. Now all she had was a headache.

"I guess a little fresh air will help clear my head," Twilight told herself as she walked out onto the balcony. She decided to do a few leg and body stretches since she had been sitting for most of yesterday under her pillow fortress, which had left her body feeling stiff and sore. She also felt rather drained from being upset and from all the crying. Twilight thought about getting something to eat when she noticed the tall tree nearby with its branches filled with hibiscus flowers of various colors. Twilight then remembered how Isaac had climbed up the past two days to pick one especially for her and placed it gently in her hair. Twilight felt her eyes water again.

"Oh Isaac, why'd you do this to me!" Twilight wailed as she knelt to the floor and wept.

But she didn't cry for long when she saw her necklace. The same necklace that the boy had given the girl years ago to symbolize his love for her. And right now, it was serving as a symbol of his betrayal to her. Twilight then yanked the thing from her neck and looked at it. She felt like getting rid of it as it made her cry even more. Just as Twilight was about to throw it off the balcony, something rustled nearby.

"Who's there?" Twilight demanded as she stood up. The last thing she needed was some random person spying on her and making what happened a public event. This was assuming Sakura and Anemone hadn't told anybody what had happened. She almost considered they might have been used to fuel some negativity about herself and Isaac when her train of thought was interrupted.

"Hello, Princess," said a very dreary voice. Twilight looked as on the other side of the balcony where another very large tree was located. There sitting on top of a high branch was Sakura. Twilight blinked and then glared sternly at her as she put the necklace in her pocket.

"Oh great, what are you doing here?" Twilight snapped, "Here to gloat how you stole my husband away from me?" Twilight immediately regretted her words when she saw how depressed Sakura looked.

"Sakura..." Twilight tried to speak.

"Please, don't be mad at Isaac!" Sakura pleaded as she hovered over the purple girl, "It was my fault. I'm the one who kissed him. In fact, I never even got to his lips! He sucked them inside his mouth!" Twilight just looked surprised, but she also felt very guilty too. However, Sakura wasn't in the clear yet.

"Why don't you come inside, and we can talk?" Twilight offered. Sakura just nodded in reply as she landed on the balcony and followed the purple girl inside. Twilight offered the cherry girl a seat on a large plushy sofa that had a low coffee table on it. Sakura took a seat as Twilight sat beside her.

"Now tell me, Sakura," Twilight asked in a gentle, but firm tone, "Why did you do that?" Sakura sniffled a bit as she looked at Twilight sadly.

"Because I was jealous," said Sakura slowly, "Jealous because your pretty and I'm not." Twilight was stunned. The jealousy she expected, but not the reason for it.

"You don't think you're pretty?" Twilight asked. Sakura just looked at her sadly.

"Why?" Twilight asked, "I mean, you seem like the type of girl Isaac would find attractive."

"Yeah, he was so attractive to me," Sakura retorted as tears streamed down her face, "He pulled me aside to tell me I was being an annoying little pest."

"Well, no offense, but... you were kind of getting in his face," said Twilight, trying to be gentle, "But that doesn't mean you're not pretty."

"It felt that way for me," said Sakura, "You see, Mrs. Sparkle..."

"Just call me Twilight, please," the purple girl replied, "I did say we were friends."

"Please stop lying to me!" Sakura bellowed, "I know you don't like me, and I know you hate me because of what I did! How can you call me your friend after all this?" Twilight took a deep breath before answering.

"Cause I want to hear your side of the story," Twilight replied, "And you've already made it clear that you weren't trying to hurt me. You obviously meant no harm." Sakura blinked before she recomposed herself.

"That is true... Twilight..." said Sakura slowly, "When I was a little girl, I had this crush on a boy. So... the day came when I finally had the courage to confess my feelings. He laughed at me and said I was the ugliest girl he ever saw. Since then, no boy or guy pays any attention to me. They either ignored me or bullied me by calling me mean names."

"Did you have any braces, glasses, or something where a boy would be shallow enough to say that?" Twilight asked, "If I can ask?"

"No," Sakura remarked, "I didn't look that much different than how I look now. I just stopped bothering to look at myself in the mirror." Sakura then removed her barrette and held it with her hand.

"My daddy gave me this when I was really depressed," Sakura told Twilight, "He always called me his little cherry blossom or sakura blossom. I always wear it to remind myself that I am pretty, but... some days I... just don't..." Sakura began to cry as Twilight placed a hand on the cherry girl's back.

"So what's this have to do with my husband?" Twilight asked curiously.

"Well, I've heard how amazing he was through the newspapers and other radio reports," Sakura explained, "being the World Champion, the way he duels it's like magic, the amount of work he does outside of the dueling field, not to mention his monsters. You have to admit he looks really handsome as champion." Twilight chuckled.

"He was already handsome before becoming champion and in high school," Twilight remarked, "But go on..."

"Well, I just wanted to see if he would find me pretty," said Sakura, "and when I saw you guys at the café. I wanted to jump at the chance at getting to know him, but... I got too excited for my own good. Plus I really, really wanted him to like me. If I could be told by the World Champion of Duel Monsters that I was pretty... and likable... then maybe... maybe I really am pretty."

"And the kiss?" Twilight asked.

"I have a bad habit of acting without thinking things through," said Sakura. "This wouldn't be the first time I've gotten into trouble over it. But... I never thought I would destroy a marriage because of it..." Twilight just sighed.

"First, let's deal with your problem," said Twilight, "You don't need to get the approval of any guy to feel pretty, Sakura. My best friend Rarity is not just the most generous person but also has a special talent in helping people feel beautiful. She taught me that true beauty comes from within, that being confident in yourself is the key to being beautiful."

"You mean pretty?" Sakura corrected.

"No," said Twilight, "I mean feeling beautiful. It comes from confidence and believing in yourself, Sakura."

"But... I don't have confidence in myself," said Sakura sadly.

"You should," Twilight replied, "You and your sister have created such a beautiful garden that you could be proud of."

"True," said Sakura, "I know everything about cherry blossoms, from how they grow and taking care of the trees, their history, and cultural value, as well as crafting different kinds of flower accessories."

"You make flower accessories?" Twilight replied, clearly impressed.

"Yeah," said Sakura, "Crowns, bracelets, ribbons, and even braiding flowers in people's hair. Nothing a guy would be interested in."

"Oh, I'm sure you'll find a boy who would," said Twilight, "The key is to start as friends and let the friendship grow. That's how Isaac and I started. We were friends, then best friends, then we dated, and then one day... I realized that I was falling in love with him."

"Was it scary to confess?" Sakura asked.

"Yes, but it was more than worth it," said Twilight, "because we had let our feelings grow, so I knew he returned them. My fear was just hoping it would last."

"I can understand that," said Sakura, "Whoever my special someone is, I just hope that it will be forever. I hope you and Isaac can work things out." Twilight gave her a gentle smile.

"I'm sure we can," said Twilight, "Isaac might get a little heated in the head at times, but he never stays angry for long." Sakura began to cry.

"Hey, don't worry," said Twilight gently, "I'm sure we can patch things up."

"I hope so," Sakura sobbed, "because I saw him walking around town yesterday. He was venting about how he was tired of trying to spread love by being helpful and caring. He was passing by several people who could have used his help and he didn't bother to help them at all. He thinks they won't appreciate his efforts and that they'll just complain about him."

"Oh..." Twilight groaned, "That's not your fault. It's mine! I should've just let him explain what had happened instead of just assuming the worst of him. Plus it probably didn't help that some people had the nerve to publicly put him down, and I bet that radio show has something to do with it! Now he's convinced himself that what he's been doing his whole life isn't worthwhile. How foolish I've been acting, I kept saying that I needed him when he clearly needs me more! I gotta find him!"

"Is there anything I can do to help?" Sakura asked sniffling and blowing her nose. Twilight pondered for a moment until there was a loud knock on the door. Twilight then headed to the door and opened it to see the hotel manager standing outside.

"Mrs. Sparkle..." said the manager, who was a man by the name of Tropical Skies.

"Yes, is there something wrong?" Twilight asked professionally as Sakura slowly approached beside her.

"There is a big fire down at the radio station," Tropical Skies replied, "And there was word that Isaac had entered the building to save those still trapped inside." Twilight felt her eyes shrink as her heart skipped a beat. Sakura gasped and put a hand over her mouth.

Several minutes before

Isaac was walking about a small open market area just examining and checking out all the native fruits that were available. Isaac was taken by surprise to see a vendor selling some apples.

"I didn't know Applejack had any relatives that lived on this island," Isaac remarked, "Then again, they do sell pine apples here. Heh-heh... Ugh, that was the worst pun I ever thought of. So glad Twilight wasn't around to hear that. Twilight..." Isaac felt his eyes water as he quickly wiped them and continued to look around.

"Keep it together, Isaac," he told himself, "you just gotta get used to only looking out for yourself now. You won't get hurt as much anymore." Isaac took a few steps forward before just sitting near a lamppost.

"Then... why do I feel so empty inside?" Isaac asked himself, but before he could think of an answer.

BOOM!

The ground rumbled as several people came running by screaming and shouting in terror.

"What... what's going on?" Isaac asked as a few people came running past him but didn't bother to answer. It was then he noticed Anemone frantically looking around the market and getting cut off by people running amok. Isaac ran up to her.

"Anemone, what's going on?" Isaac asked.

"There was some sort of explosion at the radio station," Anemone explained as she pointed an arm to a rather tall building just down the market street covered completely in flames, "and it caused a huge fire that's spreading really fast!"

"Where's your sister?" Isaac asked as he watched the burning building with worry. He then noticed several townpeople collecting buckets of water and helping the firefighter team to try and douse the fire.

"I don't know where she is," said Anemone, "I haven't seen her since yesterday. She feels really bad for what happened." Isaac just sighed.

"Well, she can't undo the damage she..." Isaac then stopped his comment and noticed a person giving orders to the others. He figured this person was in charge of the weather team and headed towards him.

"Wait for me!" Anemone called out as she tried to follow Isaac. Once he was in range, Isaac walked up to the man.

"Are you in charge?" Isaac asked. The man gave him a stern look before blinking once he saw who was speaking to him.

"Mr. Isaac," he replied, "It's an honor to be in the presence of the World Champion!" Isaac smiled, grateful to get some respect for his title.

"Never mind the formalities," said Isaac, "Are you in charge of the firefighter team?"

"Yes," the man replied, "the name is Twinsy Tropics."

"Have you made sure that everyone inside has been evacuated safety, Twinsy?" Isaac asked.

"I have some people surveying the building as we..."

"Captain!" another man shouted, "We managed to get all but four people out of the building. The radio hosts are barricaded inside one of the rooms. None of us can get them out!" Isaac gasped silently.

"What?!" Twinsy exclaimed, "We need to get them out as soon as possible! The building is getting more unstable by the second!" Isaac just looked at the burning building. It was then a glimmer of rainbow flashed across his eyes. Then he felt something inside. Before anybody could react, Isaac narrowed his eyes and headed directly for the building.

"Mr. Champion!" Twinsy shouted as Isaac entered through an open window on the ground floor and headed inside.

Back at the present

A good fifteen minutes had passed from the time Isaac had entered the building when Twilight and Sakura arrived. Anemone was just standing next to Twinsy with her own worried look on her face. By now, the fire was just barely being contained by the other firefighters as Sakura went to help the townspeople with trying to put the fire out. Twilight appeared near the clearly worried Twinsy.

"Excuse me," said Twilight in panic.

"Mrs. Twilight!" he exclaimed.

"Have you seen my husband? Where's my husband?" Twilight demanded frantically.

"He went inside to rescue the radio hosts since they were still trapped inside," Twinsy replied, "But that was fifteen minutes ago." Twilight felt her eyes begin to water as she sat down. Her body was trembling with worry.

Please be okay, Isaac, please come out! Twilight pleaded in her mind. Anemone offered Twilight a hug to help her calm down. While Twilight didn't feel any better getting a hug, she was still grateful for the gesture. Suddenly...

CRASH!

The entire building came tumbling down!

A huge dust cloud came towards the crowd as they all covered up. However, it was spreading away as some sort of barrier was protecting them. Twilight felt her heart sink as the dust cloud surrounded the building.

"ISAAC!" Twilight cried out in anguish before covering her face with her hands.

"Miss! Look!" Twinsy shouted as a shadow came out of the smoke cloud.

There coming out of the smoke was Isaac, his clothes and body charred from all the fire and smoke, as a small invisible barrier was used to keep the dust away. The boy's magicians were doing their job of protecting their master and also secretly put a barrier up that protected the people when the dust cloud happened. With him were the four radio hosts, all wearing tattered and destroyed suits as they were piled on Isaac's back. Those watching nearby were in deep shock as Isaac cleared the dust cloud and the barrier was removed. It was then a small girl put her hands together and clapped. Then some of the other young kids began to clap. This set up a chain reaction as one by one, the faces of the bystanders went from shocked to happy as they, too, began to applaud him. Isaac had just barely allowed the last of the radio hosts to climb off his back when he looked up to see all the people applauding him. Isaac was rather stunned as the applause turned into cheers. Isaac soon smiled at them as Twilight threw her arms around his neck and kissed him despite how dirty he looked.

"I'm so sorry, honey," Twilight said softly, "I was so wrong to think that you would hurt me or kiss another girl. I guess I'm afraid you'll find someone better than me." Isaac just took a slow deep breath and exhaled. Twilight then got on her hands and knees and sat up in a kneeling position.

"Please take me back," Twilight begged. Isaac just blinked.

"Shouldn't... I be the one doing that?" Isaac asked her.

"Why?" Twilight replied, "You didn't do anything wrong! I was the one who betrayed and hurt you! Sakura came to me this morning and explained everything. She even said you sucked your lips inside your mouth to hide them from hers!"

"That was true," Isaac replied plainly.

"And I still broke your heart," Twilight continued as she felt her eyes water, "Please don't stop being the person you are because of me! I love you! I appreciate you! I think you're very special! And I also know that you are a man of honesty and integrity. I was wrong to doubt that. Please forgive me!" Twilight just looked at him sadly. Isaac took a step forward and gave her a soft smile.

"I'm sorry too," said Isaac as he took his cap off, "I didn't handle the situation very well with Sakura, and she caught me off guard. Besides, at least you didn't actually give up on yourself."

"I heard about that," said Twilight, "and I don't blame you. With all the heckling and me turning my back on you, I wasn't surprised that you would question if showing love and compassion to others was worth it."

"Wait, wait, wait! Timeout!" said radio host number one, "are you saying that Isaac saved us because he loves us?" The other radio hosts made disgusted faces as Isaac huffed before turning to face them.

"I've had alot of time to think over the past day or so," Isaac told them sternly, "and I've come to realize something."

"Like what?" radio host number two asked rather rudely.

"The love I spread to others is the glue that makes the magic of friendship so powerful," Isaac explained as the rest of the crowd listened as well, "Love is laughter, kindness, honesty, generosity, loyalty, and magic. It's also empathy, compassion, sympathy, and forgiveness. Most importantly, it is also unconditional and never expects anything in return because sharing that love is its own reward." Isaac then turned to his wife and grabbed her hand as he looked into her eyes.

"For those who have their special someone, always remember," Isaac continued, "no matter how difficult life gets, no matter how hurtful or painful the disputes may be, like friendship, true love is always worth fighting for." Twilight began to smile and shed happy tears as they shared a loving nuzzle. Anemone cooed excitedly as Sakura appeared beside her sister and smiled. Some of the other people smiled while a few even shed tears.

"Oh... bleh!" radio host number three snorted, "I always knew Isaac was a sap, but this is just plain stomach cringing!"

"He thinks he's oh so perfect now that he's learned his whittle lesson," radio host number four added.

"Now everything else will be flowers and rainbows," radio host number one remarked as he made noises like he was sick, "His character is so fake! Am I right?" Twilight growled angrily.

"Oh, I'll give you fake when I remove those mouths right off your faces!" Twilight warned as she stood before them in a defensive position.

"Oooh, heed a girl scorned, so scary!" radio host number one said mockingly.

"It's okay, honey, said Isaac, calmy as he put his arm around her, "They're entitled to their opinions after all. I didn't expect to get any gratitude from them for saving their lives. At the end of the day, I did what I felt was right, and you using your energy on them isn't worth the effort. I don't need anybody's approval or to feel popular. I've got all the love I could ever need." Twilight settled down as she listened to her husband and nodded in agreement.

"You're right," said Twilight, "You have me, your family, and all our friends who love you very much." Isaac smiled as they linked hands and walked away together as Twilight put his cap back on his head. The four radio hosts just rolled their eyes.

"Those two are pathetic, am I right?" radio host number one asked, but only got silence in return. The other radio hosts noticed that all they were getting from the crowd of people were glares and looks of disgust.

"Um, you guys," said radio host number two. Radio host number one then noticed the group of people glaring at them. The four men all looked at each other nervously.

"Uh, as my old friend from the mainland used to say," said radio number three, "exit, stage left!" Then the four individuals ran off as fast as their legs could take them when most of the crowd watched them disappear into the background. Sakura and Anemone chuckled at each other.

"Good luck getting the radio show rebooted!" Sakura shouted.

"Yeah, and if they try, we'll give 'em hard lemon pokes!" Anemone added as she waved her lemon wand with her hand. Sakura just laughed and hugged her little sister happily.

Later that evening, Isaac and Twilight were sitting closer to each other just watching a very beautiful sunset. They had also been holding each for hours and hadn't bothered to let go. It was all they really needed from each other. Just the closeness of having the person they loved more than anything by their side. They had even shared a good cry together to because they believed even love could be shared through tears of joy and happiness.

"I love you," said Twilight sweetly.

"I love you, too," Isaac replied in the same tone, "I'm glad everything is going to be okay between us now."

"Yeah," said Twilight as she began to giggle to herself.

"What's up?" Isaac asked her curiously.

"We just had our first fight as husband and wife," Twilight chuckled.

"Yeah, we did," said Isaac, "guess what they say is true. Dealing with fights and disagreements only makes you appreciate each other more."

"True," said Twilight as she nuzzled the side of his head with her own, "but I prefer if we didn't get into fights, or at least tried to minimize them."

"I agree," said Isaac, "but neither of us is perfect." Twilight hummed in agreement.

"Well, the fact that you're not perfect is what I love most about you," Twilight said softly.

"Same here," Isaac replied as he kissed her cheek, and Twilight returned the gesture. He then put his cap on her head as it made the boy smile seeing his wife in it.

"Hope we're not interrupting you two," said a voice. Isaac and Twilight turned their heads to see Sakura and Anemone standing nearby.

"Just a romantic sunset," Isaac replied bluntly when Twilight smacked the back of his head.

"Never mind, my sweetie," said Twilight, "what's up, girls?"

"Some of the town's people are hosting a luau to apologize to Isaac for being so mean to him before," Anemone explained, "They realize that they had been paying so much attention to what those mean radio people were saying that they didn't bother to actually get to know Isaac. They wanted to say sorry and learn more about you."

"We hope you two will come," said Sakura, "luau's are usually the biggest and best kind of parties held on the islands." Twilight looked at her husband.

"Well, sweetie," said Twilight, "shall we go check it out?" Isaac looked at the two girls and then his wife.

"We would never miss a good party," said Isaac as then he realized something, "you don't think?"

"Surprise!" said a very familiar voice as a pink girl randomly popped out of the sand.

"We should have known," said Isaac with a playful eye roll, "A party like this just wouldn't be a party without my little sister."

"It ain't just her, sugarcube!" said another familiar voice. Isaac and Twilight gasped excitedly as Sakura and Anemone moved away to show that Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Sunset had arrived on the beach. Of course, Rarity was wearing a sundress, hat, and glasses. Isaac and Twilight wasted no time rushing towards their friends, sharing a group hug, and greeting each other excitedly.

"Roll call?" said Isaac as he showed his duel disk on his arm with his deck slotted in.

"Beast-type," said Fluttershy.

"Predaplant," responded Applejack.

"Crystal Beast, darlings," spoke Rarity.

"Toons and Madolche," added Pinkie.

"U.A and Speedroids," commented Rainbow.

"Red-Eyes," stated Sunset.

"Spellbook," answered Twilight.

"Magician," Isaac put his fist in as all seven of their small rectangle devices on their arms were now touching one another. They broke their huddle as they all smiled.

"What are you guys doing here?" Twilight asked happily.

"Rarity offered us all a paid trip to the islands for a few days," said Fluttershy, "We know this was your honeymoon and all..."

"We can keep out of your way if necessary," finished Rainbow, "we just wanted to check this place out!"

"I'm sure you two want to have some quality alone time," Rarity remarked, "but we figured you wouldn't mind if we enjoyed paradise while you did." Isaac and Twilight just looked at each other and smiled.

"Are you kidding?" said Isaac.

"We would be honored to have our friends join us for the rest of the trip," said Twilight and then remembered the two sisters nearby, "Oh! Meet our new friends, Sakura and Anemone. They live here and were going to give us a tour of the island tomorrow. Since we... didn't get to yesterday." The two sisters looked at each other and smiled.

"Sure," the two sisters replied.

"We've met these girls," said Rainbow as she stood nearby with her arms crossed, "and we also know that miss cherry blossom over here smooched the Prince." Sakura just looked away sadly as Isaac looked rather nervous.

"No need to fret, Isaac," said Sunset, "We know you didn't do anything wrong."

"We know you would never hurt Twilight, big brother," Pinkie Pie added as she hugged Isaac, "Sakura said that she apologized, so all is forgiven." Isaac knew that Sakura hadn't apologized to him directly, but kept quiet to not ruin the mood.

"True," said Twilight and then turned to the still surprised cherry girl, "We're friends now, right Sakura?" The cherry girl blinked and then nodded.

"And I learned a lesson," said Isaac, "how important it is to remember those who love you and when people don't appreciate the love you share with them." The others hummed impressively.

"Now come on! We've got a party to go to!" Pinkie then presented her party cannon and fired it. Instead of regular confetti, this confetti was tropical patterned.

Soon they were all at the party, the group was each wearing their own personal hula leis that Sakura had hand-crafted herself. All the girls, including Rainbow, had hibiscus flowers in their hairs that they had hand-picked from the tree near Twilight and Isaac's suite. They just enjoyed chatting with each other as they enjoyed each other's company, the local townspeople, and plenty of tasty treats. Isaac and Twilight were seen chatting with some of the townspeople and laughing as well. Then it came time for some entertainment. The group enjoyed watching the group of young kids perform a hula dance for the audience. Fluttershy and Rarity could not stop cooing at how adorable they looked. Then there was a town limbo competition that the group participated in, in which Rainbow got her revenge from Twilight and Isaac's welcoming party by beating the Prince. As the party died down, a pair of people began to play a drum and ukulele as they sang songs in the island's native language. It was during one of these performances that Isaac approached Sakura.

"Hey," said Isaac gently.

"Oh, hi," said Sakura timidly, "enjoying... the luau?"

"Yeah," said Isaac, "I'm having a great time." Isaac then took a deep breath before continuing, "So... listen..."

"Look, you don't need to apologize," said Sakura, "I did a dumb thing, and I'm really, really sorry."

"I forgive you," said Isaac, "I wanted to speak to you because Twilight told me why you did that." Sakura bit her lip and looked away.

"You are a beautiful girl," Isaac replied. Sakura's eyes nearly popped out.

"You sure you should be saying that to me?" Sakura asked skeptically.

"I tell my friends all the time," Isaac explained, "Twilight knows that I mean it in a friendship way and in an honest way. In other words, I wouldn't say that to you if I didn't mean it." Sakura smiled as tears pricked her eyes.

"Thank you," Sakura replied, "So... can we be friends?" Isaac just smiled.

"Of course, we can," Isaac replied as he raised an arm so she could hug him. Sakura was a bit nervous until Isaac just pulled the cherry girl in, which Sakura just smiled.

(cue tropical montage)

The next few days were some of the most fun days the group ever had and they had taken a bunch of pictures as well thanks to Isaac bringing a camera. The first picture was the group looking at Sakura's and Anemone's personal garden. There was also another picture of Rarity having Sakura braid her hair with cherry blossoms... as well as Rainbow's... reluctantly. Fluttershy had her picture taken with some of the tropical birds surrounding her as she sat on a nearby tree with Anemone watching her from the ground. Applejack, Rainbow, Isaac, Pinkie, and Sakura were then seen at a special dirt area where you could rent out adult-sized scooters. Surprisingly, Pinkie beat everybody in the race! Then another was shown with Rarity sunbathing in a lounge chair and tanning mirror with Fluttershy as Applejack and Rainbow were surfing in the background. There was even one where Twilight, Isaac, Sakura, Rainbow, Applejack, and Pinkie rode a kayak together with the pink pony using a megaphone. Another picture was also on the beach as Twilight and Isaac presented a hand-crafted sand sculpture of Canterlot that they had made. The next picture was of the group and the two sisters as they tried scuba diving and Fluttershy and Rainbow were swimming next to some sea turtles. Then another picture was of Isaac, Twilight, and Rainbow leaning against a wooden balcony wearing sunglasses, trying to look cool. Then another was of Isaac and Twilight having a romantic dinner with the sun setting in the background, which Twilight wore a dress, and Isaac had a stylish tropical shirt on. Then the group and two sisters were seen having a bonfire on the beach roasting marshmallows over the fire. Well... all but Pinkie and Sakura, who were trying to stuff as many marshmallows as they could stuff into their mouths. Then another adorable picture of Isaac playing the ukulele with Twilight sitting next to him on the beach in the moonlight.

There was more! A picture of Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy, Sakura, and Anemone enjoying their time at the special outdoor spa. Then another where Rainbow and Isaac were having a duel at the local arcade, Sakura and Pinkie having smoothies, Sakura laughing as a coconut bopped Isaac in the head, and then a special picture where the group had stopped by the town bakery and local guy, who ran the shop, asked Sakura out on a date. The cherry girl was blushing and Anemone was in shock. Finally, the ten individuals as they stood and overlooked the top of a mountain where they could see the town and the vast blue sea in the background.

Isaac and Twilight chuckled to each other as they enjoyed the pictures in their newly made scrapbook as they sat together in their hotel room. They had really enjoyed their time at Horsolulu together. Unfortunately, tomorrow morning was when they would be returning back to the mainland.

"Sigh, it's too bad our honeymoon has to come to an end," said Isaac sadly.

"Yeah, but we made some fun memories here," said Twilight, "especially with our friends here."

"I agree," said Isaac, "It certainly made this trip very memorable." Twilight and Isaac shared a quick kiss when they heard a knock on the door.

"I'll get it," said Isaac as he walked over to the door. He then opened the door to see Sakura standing outside.

"Hey there, Sakura," said Isaac cheerfully, "what's up?"

"I wanted to thank you and your wife for being such good friends to me and my sister," Sakura replied, "and I wanted to thank you especially for being so kind and understanding despite my little... mess up."

"It's all in the past Sakura," said Isaac, "We'll always be friends. That's a promise." Sakura smiled as she removed her cherry blossom barrette clip and put it in Isaac's hand. Isaac was surprised.

"Sakura," said Isaac in surprise as Twilight appeared from behind him, "You said this barrette clip was special to you. Your father gave it to you." Sakura chuckled.

"I don't need it anymore," said Sakura, "and I can always make a new one. Besides, I know now that I'm beautiful and special. It also helps that I have another date with that cute baker boy." Isaac and Twilight chuckled.

"Please, take my clip, to remember me by," said Sakura, "and know that you two are always welcome here as our ohana, which means family. And family means..."

"...nobody gets left behind or forgotten," Isaac and Twilight finished.

Sakura then said her final goodbye as Isaac and Twilight shut the door. Isaac looked at the barrette clip in his hand as he smiled. Then he and Twilight went to stargaze from their balcony one last time.

"There's one more thing I need to do," said the boy as he pulled out his deck, "Guys... you there?"

At a moment's notice, both Mahad and Mana appeared before their master. Isaac saw his magicians as he took a deep breath. Twilight put her hand on her husband's shoulder as it allowed her to now see the two sorcerers. She knew what had happened between Isaac and his magicians as she held a smile.

"So... listen... I'm sor..." Isaac soon felt Mana wrap her arms around her neck.

"No need to apologize," said Mana, "We understand. You were angry, and you wanted to be alone."

"Thanks, but...still... I'm sorry for losing my cool."

"All is forgiven, master. Even if you yell at us regardless, we will always be there for you. Our duty, is to keep you and everybody else you care about safe." said Mahad.

"I appreciate that, and I'm thankful that I have you two in my life. I would never, ever treat you guys as my servants. You're my friends and friends look out for each other." said Isaac.

He then put his hand in as both Mahad and Mana did the same. Twilight was nearby as she hugged her husband as she saw the three friends having smiles on their faces. Mana and Mahad then bid goodbye to the married couple as the pair headed to bed.
